Casa de Federico Boutique

One of the best little boutique hotels I’ve ever used. From the helpfulness and graciousness of the owner/manager to the charming and well appointed room to the super location in the centro historico and at a great price. I will certainly come back. Excellent AC, power shower, perfect WiFi and a cute terrace on the rooftop. Also great €15 deal with a nearby parking structure.

Checked into Casa de Federico on Calle Horno Marina. They do have an elevator. No one on desk 2200 to 0730. Have a code to get in the front door. Room was smaller than expected. Bed takes up most of the room. No outlets or lamp on desk. Must unplug lights, on either side of bed, to plug in phones. Bathroom is almost bigger than our bedroom. No safe, refrigerator, or coffee pot/fixings in our room. TV the smallest I have seen in a long while (my screen is larger on my 13-inch computer). Had to plug my computer in by the bed and run the cord all the way to the desk. Shower temperature varied, not staying at set temperature. One single pillow, or memory foam, provided for two people. Don’t know who came up with the idea for this pillow, but it is not comfortable and highly impractical to use.

I spent 4 nights in Casa Federico. I loved it. It was every day walking back like coming home. I was traveling alone this time, so the comfort was even more important. traveling alone also means slightly different preferences. It was perfect with its imperfection. The little street under was a bit noisy every night till midnight by a local tapas bar but closing the doors and airco provided good night sleep. Other nights myself coming home late, I opened the door and nice fresh breeze from the mountains made me sleep deep. The room is not big but thanks to the efficient lay out did not feel small, even more, all felt right and the size and authentic cozy design mirrored the spirit of the town. Some more: good shower, good Towels, perfect central location, super ease of reaching anything, good coffee place 2 min walk (addicted :-)) city center, Alhambra all there .. I left Celine’s house with a smile and good feeling fueled by her kindness, the charming hotel, and now, love for Granada..
